Approval of Meeting Minutes: September 22, 2010. Mr. Pearson noted a typographical error on page 2, under item 3 within the 2nd paragraph, at the beginning of the 4th sentence. He recommended changing "The noted" to "He noted ". Mr. Dunn referred to the 2nd line of paragraph 3 on page 1 and questioned if the applicant is the City, who does the word "he" refer to? This issue was discussed. Consensus was reached to change the word "he" to Barry Brown. Motion by Mr. Pearson, seconded by Mr. Dunn, for approval with said corrections. The motion carried unanimously. 2. Recommendation to City Council: Proposed Assisted Living Facilities Ordinance. Mr. Brown reviewed events from the prior meeting and explained the research that was done to provide the board with recommendations for setback requirements; facility size; minimum size of each unit; parking requirements; and loading areas. Discussion ensued and included: whether to prohibit conversion of condominiums or town homes to assisted living facilities and the need to word the ordinance so any facility that can meet all code requirements for this use could become an assisted living facility; whether to allow individual cooking facilities in each unit; unit size requirements; the need to remove the definition of adult congregate living facility; set back requirements; land requirements for this use; unit per acre requirements; parking unit requirements; requirements for loading areas; the need to add "split face" block to the acceptable finishes for loading areas; Planning Zoning Board Meeting Minutes October 13, 2010 Page 2 of 3 and whether an ALF could be converted to another use such as a hotel or short term rental. During the discussion Mr. Danny Ringdahl, Mr. Glenn Duffy, Mr. Andy Kirback and Mr. Kendall Keith provided information related to a proposed Assisted Living Facility and answered questions. Mr. Russell restated the five outstanding items and noted consensus was reached as follows: • Set the unit size at 400 sq feet for a single bed unit and 700 sq feet for double bed units • Require 2 parking spaces for every 3 units and have one parking space for every employee on the largest working shift • Set backs will be a minimum of 25 feet with 50 feet from adjacent residential lot lines • Require the lot area to be a minimum of five (5) acres • Accept the suggested design standards for the loading areas with the addition of "split face" block as an allowed finish Motion by Mr. Pearson, seconded by Mr. Russell, to recommend that we add these five items (to the ordinance) and forward the ordinance to the City Council. The 5 acre lot size requirement and whether this size would preclude conversion of existing facilities were briefly discussed. The motion carried unanimously, after a roll call vote. 3. Discussion Limiting the Location and Number of Tattoo Parlors. Mr. Brown reviewed the request and stated the City currently does not have any Tattoo Parlors. He noted the advice of Assistant City Attorney Kate Latorre not to prohibit Tattoo Parlors outright. Mr. Brown suggested these uses be limited to industrial zoned areas. Mr. Johanson objected to considering this request because the code requires payment of an application fee, which has not been received. Mr. Brown explained this is a request from the Mayor and didn't agree that a application fee is warranted as this is only a discussion item. Ms. Apperson explained this item was a request from the Mayor to the City Manager, who forwarded the request to Mr. Brown to get input from this Board. Discussion ensued and included the suggestion to place this uses in the industrial zoned areas; whether to have a separation requirement between businesses; whether this use should be classified as a personal service similar to a barber or nail salon; the visioning efforts; a recent court case from California that classifies tattooing as a form of personal expression and therefore protected under the first amendment; proposing legislation that places tattoo parlors in the industrial area with a separation of 1000 feet between parlors; and that individuals should feel free to bring any item to the Board for discussion. During the discussion Mayor Randels noted his duties and responsibilities include brining items forward that protect and promote the City and the desires of the residents. No consensus was reached to have staff perform further action on this item. Mayor Randels will pursue discussion with the City Council.
